Aimee Lou Wood criticizes Saturday Night Live sketch that made fun of her teeth

After being mocked in a “The White Lotus” parody on Saturday Night Live, Aimee Lou Wood criticized the show in a series of Instagram stories on her profile.

Aimee Lou Wood was targeted in a sketch from Saturday Night Live that made fun of her character in “The White Lotus” and of the actress’s teeth. The “Toxic Town” star spoke out against the show’s attitude via her Instagram account.

The parody, titled “The White Potus”, features Donald Trump, played by James Austin Johnson, visiting the hotel and interacting with alternate versions of HBO characters.

In the sketch, Chelsea, Aimee Lou Wood’s character, is portrayed by Sara Sherman, who wears fake teeth to mimic the actress.

Host Jon Hamm asks Sherman, “What if we removed all the fluoride from drinking water? What would that do to people’s teeth?” Sherman replies, “Fluoride? What’s that?”, implying that Aimee doesn’t brush her teeth.

The actress shared messages with her 2.8 million Instagram followers saying she found “the SNL bit cruel and not funny.” She later said she received an apology from the show.

“Such a shame, because I was enjoying the show a few weeks ago. Yes, mocking is part of it, but it should be done more intelligently, more subtly, less crudely,” Aimee Lou Wood continued in her story.

She concluded by saying that HBO had always been kind and supportive of her appearance and had never treated her badly.
